Myrmecium (spider)
''Myrmecium'' is a genus of ant-mimicking corinnid sac spiders first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1824. The unrelated jumping spider species ''Synemosyna formica'' has been mistaken for a member of this genus twice, once by Eugène Simon in 1897 (''Myrmecium lunatum'') and once by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão in 1932 (''Myrmecium rubrum''). Species it contains thirty-nine species in South America and the Caribbean: *'' Myrmecium amphora'' Candiani & Bonaldo, 2017 – Venezuela *'' Myrmecium bifasciatum'' Taczanowski, 1874 – Bolivia, Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil *'' Myrmecium bolivari'' Candiani & Bonaldo, 2017 – Venezuela, Colombia *'' Myrmecium bonaerense'' Holmberg, 1881 – Argentina *'' Myrmecium camponotoides'' Mello-Leitão, 1932 – Brazil *'' Myrmecium carajas'' Candiani & Bonaldo, 2017 – Brazil *'' Myrmecium carvalhoi'' Candiani & Bonaldo, 2017 – Brazil *'' Myrmecium catuxy'' Candiani & Bonaldo, 2017 – Colombia, Brazi ...

Corinnidae
Corinnidae is a family of araneomorph spiders, sometimes called corinnid sac spiders. The family, like other "clubionoid" families, has a confusing taxonomic history. Once it was a part of the large catch-all taxon Clubionidae, now very much smaller. The original members of the family are apparently similar only in that they have eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets that touch and are generally wandering predators that build silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks. In 2014, Martín Ramírez recognized the family in a restricted sense, including only the subfamilies Corinninae and Castianeirinae. Two former subfamilies of the Corinnidae are now treated as separate families, Phrurolithidae and Trachelidae. As now recognized, Corinnidae contains 71 genera and over 800 species worldwide. Among the common genera are ''Castianeira'' (nearly world wide) and ''Corinna'' (widespread). Members of the genus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pierre André Latreille
Pierre André Latreille (; 29 November 1762 – 6 February 1833) was a French zoology, zoologist, specialising in arthropods. Having trained as a Roman Catholic priest before the French Revolution, Latreille was imprisoned, and only regained his freedom after recognising a rare beetle species he found in the prison, ''Necrobia ruficollis''. He published his first important work in 1796 (), and was eventually employed by the . His foresighted work on arthropod systematics and Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy gained him respect and accolades, including being asked to write the volume on arthropods for George Cuvier's monumental work, , the only part not by Cuvier himself. Latreille was considered the foremost entomology, entomologist of his time, and was described by one of his pupils as "the prince of entomologists". Biography Early life Pierre André Latreille was born on 29 November 1762 in the town of Brive-la-Gaillarde, Brive, then in the Limousin (province), province of Limo ...

Friedrich Dahl
Karl Friedrich Theodor Dahl (June 24, 1856 in Rosenhofer Brök north of Dahme, Holstein – June 29, 1929 in Greifswald) was a German zoologist, and in particular an arachnologist. The son of a farmer, Dahl studied at the universities of Leipzig, Freiburg, Berlin and Kiel. His dissertation (1884) was "''Beiträge zur Kenntnis des Baus und der Funktion der Insektenbeine''". He became a ''Privatdozent'' in 1887; with a habilitation thesis "''Ueber die Cytheriden der westlichen Ostsee''". Around this time he traveled to the Baltic states and (1896–1897) to the Bismarck Archipelago near New Guinea. He was also interested in biogeography. On April 1, 1898 Dahl became curator of arachnids at the '' Museum für Naturkunde'' in Berlin, where he worked under his former teacher, the then museum director Karl Möbius. Dahl remained in Berlin until he retired, and his type collection is held in that museum. Although he described in many animal groups, Dahl concentrated on spide ...
